Mississippi HB1189 revises school attendance laws, focusing on chronic absenteeism and disciplinary issues for students with disabilities.
Mississippi HB1189 amends the state's compulsory school attendance law to address chronic absenteeism and disciplinary issues, particularly for students with disabilities. The bill mandates that all school attendance officers complete legal training for the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It requires a comprehensive evaluation for students already receiving special education services to determine eligibility under IDEA or a 504 Plan.
